Mason & Julez

Mason and Jules Coutinho are the two youngest of five children.[2] They are brothers born in 2004 and 2006 respectively in Melbourne, Australia.

Mason learned to play guitar and sing when he was around ten years old.[3] Soon after, Mason and his younger brother, singer and rapper Jules, moved to Los Angeles, California, to pursue a career in music. A few years later, they joined the social media platform TikTok, where their music would gain popularity. The two created a YouTube channel in 2016, where they would post covers and mashups of their favorite songs, original songs, and lifestyle videos.[4]

After signing to Left Lane Entertainment Group, Mason & Julez wrote and produced their debut studio album, Going on 21, which was released on April 29, 2022.[1][5] The album fuses many genres together, including hip hop, pop, and reggae, and embraces sounds not found in their earlier music. According to Mason, "we've always lived with a lot of people in the house. And, I think that we listened to a lot of different kinds of music because there were so many people who liked different kinds of music in the house."[6]

Three months after the album was released, they released a live, acoustic version of the entire album under the title Going on 21 (Live Sessions, Vol. 1).[7]

As of July 2023, they have accumulated over 135,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.[8]

Mason and Jules currently reside in Los Angeles. As a pastime, they busk and perform small shows in the area.[5][9]

Mason has stated that some of his greatest music influences are Khalid, Post Malone, Shawn Mendes, Halsey, Drake, and Ed Sheeran.[10]
